If such a thing might be, these men, though they have ruined their party and made shipwreck of their own pond 'cal fortunes at bane, would yet have come off con querors. For with them; success means getting the offices, not getting the approval and support! of the People- • - • Bmt there is danger that this, their last desperate chance for office;wal fail them.

While sluing in my hotel there, Lamar, .the owned: of the Wanderer, drove up to the door in a light trotting wag on, with a magnificent black horse.

"Gentlemen, this is a real Aflican, import ed in the Wanderer, tie belongs to me, and I would like to see the United States officer that dare lay bands on him." He then drove oft and I Ittetsitrei heard that he stopped at different places in the city, and made the same speech • also, that he boasts of having a cargo of s laves now on the way, which he means to land openly at Sa vannah. The prevailing opinion is apparently in fa vor of reopening the sla trade.

AN IN - F.o4oft OtTRAGE.—Tbe editor of the Providence Journal has seen a private letter. from a gentleman who was present when the yacht.

The writer says that when the auctioneer commenced, Mr. Lamar step ped up and said : " Gentlemen, this vessel belongs to me in every sense of the word.— She has been taken from me by the high hands of the law. The =United states Claim her but I say-she is mine; and I shall not expect any one to bid against me‘ t bid one dollar for her." A • Me. Van Horn bid against him, and the price was run up to $4,- 000, at which price the . vessel was knocked down to Mr. Lamar; The sutxxs3sfhl bidder then turned to Mr. Van • Roth, and with words too profane and indecent to be repeat ed, knocked him down. The fallen man rose to defend himself but the sympathy of the company was so manifestly with the assail. ant, and the indications of violence and blood- Shed to plain, that his friends took hint away. Some of Lamar's backers called out, " Charlie, kill him !" which-the writer of the letter does not -430u1t- "would have been promptly done, had' any resistance been made.

Lately the President of the London Chess Club s came to Paris to satisfy himself as to the real merit of Morphy's playing, and as to the rank he ought to occupy. Mr. Mongredieu -and Mr. Morphy played_ eight games,' one of which, the first one, was drawn, while the others were gained by Mr. Morphy. lit this trial of skill, two &eta were remarked in re gard to fir. Morphy's playing, which are at -universally remarked in his games when contesting with a first-rate player.— These are that he seldom wins the first game. and that up to say the twentieth move he rarely shows any suiierlority over his cotn petitor. It is only after that point in the game that be commences those extraordinary and unlooked for moves which astonish the audience and cru4i his antagenist - beyond hope of recovery. • - Mr. Morphy is, now engaged at the Cafe de la Regence in a most singular game of chess with a party of amateurs numbering one hundred. These hundred pericins •have subscribed to give Mr. Morphy a public din ner before his aepaiture f but before . . that event comes off they are playing a game thus: The hundred are divided into five see-. 'dons of twenty each, who aro tb play among ., themselves until one of -the twenty is acknowl edged the victor of the others.
